Take a deep breath.

Hold it.

OK, that's it.

Breathe in.

OK. Get dressed.

It's an infection. Nothing serious.

Keep taking paracetamol.

I'm prescribing some vitamins to boost your immunity.

You'll be fine in 2 or 3 days.

I ran a 39.5°C fever yesterday.

Nothing to worry about.

- And sick leave? - It's not that serious.

I really don't feel well.

Nothing to worry about. You can return to work tomorrow.

Do we have to drop dead before we can get sick leave?

Darik Radio News.

Good morning on Darik Radio. It's 7 AM, March 14, 2020.

Bulgaria entered emergency state yesterday, due to the coronavirus.

Schools, universities and restaurants will be temporarily closed,

sports and other mass events are canceled.

Employers are encouraged to provide employees

with the opportunity to work from home

or provide personal protective equipment

and disinfect premises.

As of yesterday, March 13,

there are 31 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the country.

A 66-year-old woman, died in intensive care yesterday.

She is the first COVID-19 fatality in Bulgaria.

Hi, Iva.

- Are you OK? - Yes. Check again.

Go on.

She almost lost her bonus.

- When will this end? - When I'm told so. Go on, we're late.

Slavka, keep your distance.

DISINFECTANT

I heard they fired her.

Plamena.

- Why? - She informed the labor inspectors.

No way!

Ganka told me.

- Ganka who? - The one in the shop.

- How did she know? - Mancini owns the shop too.

Plamena opened her big mouth and...

- And Ganka told him? - I don't know.

But the foreman found out.

- Stop. - We must finish this.

Can't she finish the quota by herself?

- No, no way. - You'll have to manage.

- That's impossible. - We'll barely finish it, the two of us.

Slavka, go replace Plamena.

- Why, where is she? - Never you mind.

Come on, we're running late. No questions!

That cut isn't straight.

Happy birthday to you,

happy birthday to you,

happy birthday, dear Penche,

happy birthday to you.

This is from the company,

wishing you health and happiness at home.

Back to work. Keep the cake for lunch.

To your machines.

- Let's have a whiff... - It's lovely.

Give me the phone, we want to see you too.

Just smell it.

Give Penche a kiss.

- Kiss her! Kiss Pepi! - Pepi! Pepi!

Tonka, your cake is the best.

Amazing.

- Don't leave any for Georgiev. - He doesn't deserve any.

Serves him right for not coming.

Iva, this is window cleaner.

At least it's not water.

Wait a minute.

I know you want to go home.

First, thanks for the extra hours you put in to finish the order.

But that's not all.

Starting tomorrow, we'll split into two groups.

Half of you will make face masks and the others can finish the coats.

We'll set it up tonight.

As of tomorrow, you'll wear masks.

You'll wear them at all times because of the virus. Agreed?

Yes.

Also:

The Health & Safety inspectors will be here tomorrow.

So make sure you're all in order. We won't get another chance.

If anything goes wrong, it'll be our fault. Got it?

Yeah.

Mr. Mancini was kind enough to give you... to give us jobs.

Yet, you complain!

What's your problem? You're not in the mine.

We cover your travel. You don't go hungry.

We treat you like human beings. And what do we get in return?

A Health & Safety inspection.

If Mr. Mancini closes us down,

we'll all be out on the street. Do you realize that?

Do you think I have it easy?

You think I don't have to compromise?

I'm telling you:

I didn't work like a slave all my life just to let one of you fuck me up!

I'm not going back to the mine!

You can tell Plamena that.

We'll see who would give her a job after this.

See you tomorrow.

What are you doing?

- Dinner. - Dinner? It's time for breakfast.

It won't take long.

I ate with Ani.

Why are you being like that?

Me? Why are you being like that?

- How? - Letting them use you like a slave.

- They're not using me like a slave. - You don't even realize...

Look, my job pays for both of us.

And the working hours? Two hours overtime every single day.

Soon you'll be working 24/7. Even then, you won't protest.

And you want me to work there too. What the hell for?

So I can die at 40, bent over a sewing machine?

"Bent over a sewing machine"... It's not that bad.

They need an IT guy, you could do that.

Never. I won't work for that Italian bastard.

And I won't wear his rejected clothes.

He bought the whole town and he thinks he can do whatever he wants.

Next thing you know, he'll tell you to sleep there too.

- It's the same in Germany. - No! They can't just...

- You know what? - What?

I'm too tired to argue.

Say something to our German fans.

- We're coming! - And?

- You've got no chance against us. - Cool.

Now say it to this German here.

- Really? - Yeah, go on.

You've got no chance against us, sir.

- They speak German in Germany. - OK, I'll say it in German.

Nice. No accent.

- Come on, stop. - Stop what?

Stop shooting.

- Why? - I've had enough.

Oh... Sulking?

- What are you doing? - Nothing.

Don't post it. I look terrible.

- You look great. - Yeah, yeah...

Really great.

- Stop it. - Really good looking.

- You do look great. - Don't. You can't.

- Why not? - Stop it. You can't.

Go on, get a room, you two!

- We're off to get a room. - The hotel's over there.

- We'll drop off the laptop first. - Where?

At the shop.

- Aren't you worried? - No, why should I be?

They're going abroad, not to Sofia.

- Are you OK? - Yes, just something in my throat.

I'm not worried about the kids.

Ani's a big girl. And Misho will take care of her.

They'll be together.

He's a good boy.

There's nothing to worry about.

Iva, we've discussed this.

His dad would have been pleased. He always wanted to get out of here.

- He didn't live long enough. - He didn't.

At least Misho and Ani will get away.

You and I, we'll just stay here, sewing up our lives.

Stop. Stop! Everybody, look at me.

Those I call will get up, go to the lockers

and wait until I call you back. Got that?

You. Get up. You too.

You, you and you. Get up.

Get up, get up...

Get up. You too, Slavka, get up and go.

You two, go on.

You, get up. And you.

The rest of you, put your masks on.

Come on.

Move, move, move.

Is everything all right?

- I didn't get your name. - I'm Shukri.

Iva.

I know.

- You went to school with my wife Hava. - Hava?

How's she? I haven't seen her in ages.

She's in Italy,

taking care of old people.

I stayed here to look after the children.

Where did you learn sewing?

- By myself. - Bravo.

They wouldn't hire me at the mine.

They hired me here. Temporarily.

There's not much choice in this town.

It's better than the mine. My husband got killed there.

Does Hava come home often?

Not anymore.

It's not so bad here. You'll get used to it.

I hope I don't.

Fuck it, put it with the rest. No one will notice.

Iva!

- Get some water! - Quick! Water!

- Iva! What's going on? - Call an ambulance!

Get some water!

Great. I tried everywhere to get it fixed.

I was about to throw it away,

but then Dancho told me about you.

Great job.

- Thanks. - Thank you.

Call me if you need anything else.

But I'm only here a few more days.

No problem.

Money for the "Leave This Dump" fund.

- And for a new jacket. - No.

Yes. Come on.

All right.

OK. We'll sell one ticket, you get in the bag

as carry-on baggage, and you get a new jacket.

I may be able to get in, but you won't be able to lift it.

Hello?

See? I told you, but you never listen to me.

See what those 12-hour shifts got you...

- Iva! What are you doing here? - Doctor Rusev...

- I thought you retired. - I did.

But the hospital can't get enough doctors.

So I came back.

You know: doctors keep working as long as they breathe.

- Is this Misho? - Yes, Misho.

I haven't seen him since he was a baby.

Let's see. Open your mouth.

Put out your tongue.

OK, close your mouth.

Let me listen to your chest.

Breathe.

How is she?

How long have you been like this?

I'm OK. I'm just tired.

Two days ago, the doctor said I was OK.

And she kept going to work.

Why didn't you get sick leave?

Well...

All right.

You'll stay here for a while.

We'll keep you under observation.

And we'll do a COVID test.

- COVID? - Yes.

I thought that was only in Sofia.

Just in case.

- Did you travel to Sofia? Or abroad? - No.

- Have you had any visitors? - No.

It may be a false alarm.

- I can't miss work right now. - Here we go...

If I miss a day, I'll lose my bonus. It's half my salary.

I can't live half a life.

OK. Here's what we'll do.

You'll stay here until we get the results,

and I'll make sure you get sick leave. OK?

Thank you.

Good. I'll get a nurse to do the test.

And you're coming with me to take a test too.

- What do you do? - What do you mean?

Do you work? Are you a student?

I make videos. I'm a YouTuber.

I come home hungry.

I want to make a sandwich.

Who has time to cook for five hours?

There. I also fix things. Computers and stuff.

- I want to work in films. - Really?

- Yes, but I don't know... - Misho, how's your mom?

She's OK, Slavka. They're doing some tests.

I'm Iva's friend. Can I see her?

Let's wait for the results first.

- Misho will call you. - OK, thanks.

- I brought her some stuff. - Thanks. I'll give it to her.

Hugs, and may she get better soon.

- Bye, doctor. - Bye.

- Come on. - Bye.

Take your coat off.

Look up.

Don't move.

Fuck!

Sorry...

Is that how you start in films?

How?

By eating sandwiches on camera?

Well...

You have the equipment, all kinds of opportunities...

And you eat sandwiches on camera.

Don't you have something more serious, a cause to promote?

In this town?

I'm wasting my life here. Nothing interesting is happening.

That's why I'm leaving.

And abroad, everything will be just fine?

I hope so, but I doubt it.

- We're on. - Take two.

If you want to leave this country for good

and wonder how to organize your travel,

but don't know what you need,

or how your future looks,

watch this video to find out all you need to know.

Obviously, you need money, passports, plane tickets, accommodation,

but that's not all.

The most important thing you need, is someone to go with.

Iva, it's COVID. I'm sorry.

- Hello? - Hello, is this Misho Donev?

Yes.

Regional Health Authority. Your COVID test is positive.

Positive? But I'm perfectly OK.

Under Health Ministry orders, you must stay in quarantine

at home for 14 days.

Quarantine? But I'm leaving for Germany in a few days.

If you break the quarantine, you'll be prosecuted.

The fine for a first offense is 5000 Levs

and it gets steeper with every subsequent offense.

Fucking hell.

Fuck this shit!

MANCINI GLOBAL TEX

10 seconds.

Hello, dear viewers.

This is the textile workshop at the center of the outbreak.

As you see, the workshop is closed. There are only security guards.

We are told that the workshop is currently being disinfected

so healthy employees can go back to work in the next few days.

This is the first known COVID outbreak outside the city of Sofia.

The so-called "Patient Zero", the source of the outbreak,

seems to be workshop employee Iva Doneva.

A thorough investigation will determine whether she came to work ill or not.

Despite the steps taken by the owner, she may have passed the entry control

by taking medication to lower her temperature.

If this is confirmed, she will be fired immediately

and probably charged with criminal negligence.

At the moment, Iva Doneva is in isolation at the local hospital.

We tried to reach the representatives of...

Toni?

That's ridiculous.

Penche?

What's wrong with you all?

It's not my fault.

We were all pretending that we weren't ill.

This is just ridiculous.

CALLING ANI

- Are you Misho Donev? - That's him.

Yes. What's wrong?

- Quarantine control. - Well... I'm here.

If I see you outside, I'll beat you up myself.

- What?! - No tricks like your mom played,

or you'll have to take pills through your ass.

- Just you try! - What he means

is you can't go out until your quarantine ends.

- My sister's ill because of you. - How am I to blame?

- Your mom brought the virus here. - Get lost!

- I'll smash your face in. - Go on, just try!

- I will! - Go on then!

Leave it, I don't want problems. Stop! Leave him alone.

Don't even think about going out.

- I'll get you, you jerk! - All right, cop.

Everything was thoroughly disinfected.

The air conditioning has special filters.

The employees have disinfectants and masks.

We'll intensify the entrance checks

and make sure the employees respect the rules.

We'll see. How many workers are ill?

About twenty... Twenty one.

Twenty one.

What about the others?

The others? Quarantined with their families.

Mr. Kosev, we're doing all we can to avoid this, like we always have,

but you know about the job situation here.

Mr. Mancini's factories are a gift from God for...

As far as I can see, everything here is...

In order.

But I'll have to talk to the workers after the quarantine.

Sure. You can use Mr. Mancini's office for the interviews.

Thank you, Mr. Mancini.

All right, we'll keep in touch.

Mr. Kosev, just a moment.

As soon as Mr. Mancini heard about the inspection,

he booked a villa for you.

The best in the area. I can drive you there.

No, I'll stay at the hotel.

- The hotel is not so great. - I'm not fussy.

The hotel will do.

Thanks again, Mr. Mancini.

On behalf of our hospital, the municipality and me personally,

I'd like to thank Mr. Giuseppe Mancini

for his generous donation of one respirator,

personal protective equipment and medical supplies.

At this difficult time, people like Mr. Mancini

allow us to hope that together we can overcome the horrors

of this worldwide pandemic that reached our town.

Mr. Mancini's efforts to help our society

reach sustainable development and globalization,

have created over 300 jobs in our town.

This is the process

that includes us in the European family and its values.

Together we're building a fair and responsible future.

In gratitude for this donation,

we decided to immortalize it with a commemorative plaque.

THANKING GIUSEPPE MANCINI FOR HIS DONATION TO THE HOSPITAL

Here's your discharge and your negative test.

Congratulations.

I'll see you out. I need a smoke anyway.

I want to go back to work.

You can. After the quarantine.

I'm suspended without pay during the investigation.

- What investigation? - They need someone to blame.

Nonsense.

It's all because it was shown on TV.

If you repeat a lie a hundred times on TV,

everybody becomes an expert.

It's true.

What is?

I did take medication so they'd let me in.

Not just me. Everybody was doing it.

I just... I just didn't want to lose my bonus.

Had they given me sick leave, this wouldn't have happened.

But the doctor isn't allowed to issue sick leave to Mancini employees.

In the workshops, the shops, the factories, everybody knows.

But no one talks.

If I miss work,

I can't make it to the end of the month.

Sorry to bother you with all this.

Iva...

Whatever they say, don't listen.

It wasn't your fault.

Take care of yourself.

Call if you need anything.

Thank you.

You can't come in here. I'll call you.

Slavka... Is it Dancho?

To stay here and rot alone, just like you.

Alone, no friends... You and Uncle aren't even talking.

Brother and sister... All because of your stupidity!

- Misho... - And now, everybody hates you.

Are you ashamed of me?

Yes, I am.

- Are you serious? - Yes!

- You should be ashamed. - Me? - Yes.

- Why? - It wasn't my fault.

- Right... - Ask Dr. Rusev.

Others were ill before me.

Yeah, yeah. But you kept going to work.

And infected the whole town.

I don't understand. How am I to blame?

Ani isn't talking to me anymore.

Her dad is in the hospital.

What?

Her dad is in the hospital.

If you don't follow the rules, don't bother coming to work.

We'll check five times a day if we have to!

Keep your nose and mouth covered! Otherwise, you'll be fined. Got that?

You don't even care how much the shutdown costs us.

Contracts, penalties... What do you care?

And one more thing: no bonus this month.

- Why punish us instead of her? - It's not our fault. It's hers!

I don't care. Silence! I don't care.

The quotas stay the same. Let's see how you manage now.

We'll see who gets to keep her job.

If you don't like it, there's the door.

Get to work.

- Fucking moron. - Misho...

The soup is almost ready. Stop stuffing yourself with macaroni.

- How long will you keep this up? - What?

We're stuck here together, let's at least be civil to each other.

You're not bothering me.

So what's wrong?

Misho!

You want to know what's wrong? Here.

MURDERER

Delete it.

I can't. They posted it 25 times today.

I noticed she wasn't well,

but how was I to know?

It could've been her time of the month. I'm down myself when I get my period.

But it's none of my business, so I didn't ask.

Did you notice any other employees with symptoms?

No. She was the source of it, I'm sure.

- How do you know? - What?

- How can you be sure? - Who else could it be?

They even said so on TV.

All right, thank you. You can go back to work.

It was Iva. She brought this curse here.

Close the door and sit down.

- So? - She infected us.

She came to work ill.

It all started with her.

The COVID cases are rising at the moment.

The number of cases is growing by 10% to 14% every day.

The outbreak is forecast to reach its peak around Easter.

A corona patient has died in the Rudozem hospital.

This was confirmed by the head of the hospital, Dr. Keremedchiev.

The number of COVID deaths in the small Rhodope town is rising fast.

This new COVID-19 fatality is a 50-year-old man.

We tried to contact the family,

but they were unavailable for comment.

Last night the patient's condition worsened and he was intubated.

Despite the efforts of the medical team,

he succumbed to the disease just before 8 this morning.

Hospital sources said

that the man had no co-morbidity factors.

Our sincere condolences to the relatives of the deceased.

The USA now has the most cases of coronavirus in the world.

Johns Hopkins University reports about 86,000 cases of COVID-19...

Misho, you're under quarantine! Come back!

- I will not stay with you! - Misho, please!

- Get lost, bro! - Ani...

- Your dad wasn't my fault. - Get lost!

- Misho, go home. - Ani, we must talk.

Crawl back into your hole and don't come out again,

or I'll smash your face in!

Get lost, bro!

- What? - I want to talk to her.

What do you want?

I'm sorry about your dad, but it wasn't my fault.

- Please... - Leave me alone. Go away.

I don't want to see you or your mother ever again.

I hate you! I hate you! Go away. Go!

I heard you're new here.

- Yes. - Do you know Iva Doneva?

- Iva? Yes. - Speak up, I can't hear you.

Yes.

Did you see her take any pills before or during work?

No.

Did she look unwell?

Unwell?

Did she look ill?

We all look ill here.

6 days a week, 12-hour days...

Well... 14-hour days, really.

We work overtime almost every day.

You know what I'm trying to find out, don't you?

You know I don't have time to waste.

This is serious, I need to know the truth.

If Iva Doneva was negligent

and put not only her colleagues,

but the whole town at risk,

she could face very serious consequences.

So if you know anything,

now is the time to tell me.

Was anyone ill before her?

Tell me anything you think might be useful.

Here, the ones who come out guilty are always the defenseless.

I've never seen the rules applied in this...

We haven't finished here.

We have an order to deliver. We're short-staffed as it is.

Your mask!

You were saying?

Are you from Sofia?

Yes, why?

I have to get back to work. It isn't easy to find work here.

Hello. Lili?

Not the car!

Why the car?! Fuck you!

Motherfuckers!

Where are you?

Where are you hiding, you filthy...

It'll all pass with time.

What if they don't take me back to work?

Why wouldn't they?

The investigation is still on. Everyone thinks it's my fault.

They even blame Misho.

I don't care what people think, but Misho...

I'll talk to him.

May I?

Sorry about your car.

Did you call the police?

They don't care.

They won't get involved unless someone sticks a pickaxe in my head.

Why the car? I don't get it.

As if it were my fault.

They should go after my mom instead of my car.

Your mom isn't to blame. She's a victim, like all the others.

Where can I smoke?

On the terrace.

So...

You plan to run away?

Well, yeah. What am I supposed to do in this dump?

You'll take your problems abroad with you.

But there, you'll always be a flunky, nothing else.

I lived in the West for a while. Just after the fall of communism.

Equal rights, solidarity...

United Europe...

I felt immediately that there was a wall.

The hypocrisy.

The Europe that we dreamed about doesn't exist.

So I came back.

I decided to treat people here.

I said to myself

that things would get better.

And what happened? A periphery of the periphery.

They sucked the country dry.

Talented, intelligent youngsters, people like you...

I'll build a new life there.

You can find happiness

anywhere.

Listen, my boy... There aren't any happy emigrants.

Satisfied, maybe, but not happy.

Can't you change your life here?

Can't you stay and help your mother?

She needs your protection.

And instead, you're running away.

Your father wanted to leave too.

But together, all three of you.

Did you know him?

We were friends.

He was a good man.

He loved jokes.

Especially laughing at himself.

Did you hear this one?

"What does a miner get when he dies?"

What?

"Three days off, and then back underground."

Exactly what happened to him.

I was with the ambulance when that gallery collapsed.

He was still alive when we got him out.

But then I couldn't save him.

Don't tell your mom about the cigarette.

- Dr. Rusev? - Yes?

- Can we talk? - Wait outside.

- Can I get you coffee? - Sure.

- Do you have soy latte? - No.

Then I'll have coffee with milk, cream and cinnamon.

Do you want a silk ribbon on it?

- No. - What about you?

Coffee.

Strange people here.

When was your last day off?

A few weeks ago. The hospital is full.

- That's what I wanted to discuss... - There's no cream, it's powdered.

Two Levs.

Here you go.

I wanted to talk to you, too.

Let's take a walk in the park, get some fresh air.

I understand

that you detected the first case and treated Iva Doneva,

the patient zero.

We both know there's no such thing

as "patient zero", here in Bulgaria.

Yet... Iva Doneva was the first case of COVID-19 in town.

She was just the first one to be tested.

What do you mean?

People were coming to the hospital with similar symptoms,

but were sent back to work without a test,

diagnosed with common cold and prescribed paracetamol.

That may be true or maybe not.

Did you know

that doctors here aren't allowed to issue sick leave to Mancini employees?

- No. - I just found that out myself.

They don't want to lose money

by letting people "have a rest", even with a 39°C fever.

They don't want to lose the cheap labor.

That's what we've become.

Cheap workforce for the European Union.

And who's to blame?

How could Iva Doneva

have brought the virus to town

when she never traveled or had a holiday

in the past five years?

I found out that Mr. Mancini, who owns everything in this town,

was in Italy a week before the outbreak.

He was in Bergamo.

We have to protect that woman's dignity.

Go back to Sofia

and tell them the truth about her.

You have to.

That's why I'm here, Doctor. To find out the truth.

Did you know that

Mancini threatened to move his business to North Macedonia

if anyone disturbs his business here?

That's capitalism.

Look, I'm an old man. I've lived under both communism and capitalism.

What they were telling us about communism

turned out to be a complete lie.

But what they told us about capitalism

turned out to be absolutely true.

Look, it's that woman's son.

- Didn't I tell you to... - Go fuck yourself.

Two kebabs.

Easy, boy.

I'll fuck you up, you bastards!

Uncle...

Shall I take you to the hospital?

I'm all right.

- Can I take you home, then? - In a minute.

I saw your car. Nasty business.

- Did you frame Mom? - What?

Did you tell them it's her fault?

No.

You're lying.

Misho... I don't know what you think of me,

but I'm not the bad guy here. Nobody is.

I'm just protecting my job. That's all.

Is she all right?

Well... No.

Why don't you come see her?

I will. When the quarantine ends.

I've heard that before. Why aren't you on speaking terms?

Money? Property? Neither of you has anyone else.

It's not about money or property. It's more complicated.

I heard you plan to go to Germany?

- What do you care? - I can help you with money.

- I warned you, you jerk... - Good evening, officer.

- Good evening. - He's here with me. - OK.

- Have a nice evening. - You too.

Let me take you home.

I'll buy kebabs first.

- Misho... - I got kebabs.

- Are you all right? - Yes. I'm fine.

- Does it hurt? - I'm fine.

- Who did this? - Fuck them. I bought kebabs.

For once that I get dinner, I can't eat it.

You can have both kebabs.

I met Uncle.

When?

Tonight. He saved me from the thugs.

He said he'd come visit after the quarantine.

- I'm sorry about Germany. - Fuck Germany.

- I'll buy you a new ticket. - They're closing the borders.

- You've changed your mind? - About what?

- About me leaving. - I wasn't going to stop you.

- Right... - But you know that...

Yeah, I've heard all that before.

Come with me.

- To Germany? - Yes.

We'll make a fresh start.

- I don't speak German. - Nor do I. We'll learn it there.

Mom...

I'm sorry.

You can't shop here.

I finished my quarantine.

I don't care. You can't shop here. Get lost.

But why?

Never mind why. Get lost, or it'll get worse for you!

- But... - Go on, shove off. Go away!

Shame on you.

Shame on you!

You can't shop here! Go away! You infected the whole town.

Go away! Get out of here! Out!

RECEPTION

Come in.

- Yes? - I'm looking for Dr. Rusev.

He's in intensive care.

When does his shift end?

He's not working. He's on artificial respiration.

This morning, they intubated him.

- Can I see him? - Impossible.

Can I help in any way?

Go to church and pray. That's all you can do now.

- Hello. - Hello.

Thank you.

Hi.

Iva, this way.

- How's Misho? - Fine.

- And you? - Me too.

Look, Iva...

You know there was an independent investigation.

We waited for its results before taking a decision.

That's why you were suspended.

And?

The investigation concluded that your irresponsible behavior

was a decisive factor in spreading the virus through the workforce.

This led to the shutdown and caused losses of tens of thousands of Euros.

That's nonsense!

You're officially fired, as of today.

The company will sue you

for compensation for its losses.

Sign here.

That's a lie and you know it!

- Did you talk to Dr. Rusev? - Sign here.

Did you talk to Dr. Rusev?

I'm sorry.

Whether you sign or not, it won't change anything.

You owe me a month's salary.

Maybe after you pay compensation...

Damn you!

Can I have a cigarette?

Is the foreman really your brother?

And he fired you?

Yes.

The foreman's my brother.

The foreman used to work at the mine.

My brother.

With my husband.

They were together when the gallery started to collapse.

My husband and the others tried to...

keep the gallery from collapsing,

but my brother... that...

He ran away.

Thanks.

Stop! Listen to me, you slut! Stop!

Slavka, what...

- What are you looking at? - Slavka, please, calm down.

You killed my husband, you slut!

- Leave me alone. - My child has no father!

- Get your clothes off. Go on. - What?

- Off! - Don't touch me.

Rossy, don't touch me.

I said don't touch me. Leave me alone!

Get her clothes off.

She stole them from here. Go on!

Leave me alone!

- Don't touch me! - Get her clothes off!

Get them off!

I'll burn that workshop down tomorrow.

I'm not kidding.

- And then what? - What?

They'll swear at me in the street, you'll beat them up.

They won't let me in the shop, you'll break their window.

I'll have no job, we'll steal... For how long?

- Everything used to be OK. - It's never been OK.

At least it seemed to be.

We got on well.

Do you have more videos from the workshop?

Yes, a few. Why?

I'll give it back in a minute.

Mom, come here.

- What? - Watch this.

If you wonder what European working conditions are like,

watch this.

This is a Mancini workshop.

And here's my mother in her overalls.

Look at her, celebrating a colleague's birthday.

They called her a killer on TV for bringing COVID to our town.

Now everybody hates her.

When do you think my mom had her last holiday?

She hasn't been anywhere for years.

All these women work 14 hours a day,

in the dust and squalor, for peanuts.

Half their pay is a "bonus", which is lost if they miss a day.

They work exhausted, struggling to complete impossible quotas.

These women are denied their rights.

Doctors refuse them sick leave to keep them working.

There's no hygiene, no ventilation,

no masks, but you won't hear that on the news.

My mother, Iva Doneva, isn't a murderer.

At Mancini's, they all took pills to avoid getting fired.

Because there's no other job.

My mother is just a slave.

Aim your hatred at the man who exploits them.

The man who owns this town...

It's time the truth is told.

No.

Why?

Do you want to pretend nothing happened?

They smash my car, beat us up, and we shut up?

Is that what you want?

Sadly, there's more bad news from this small mountain town.

Yet another Bulgarian doctor has lost the fight against COVID.

Dr. Ivan Rusev was retired, but returned to work

to keep open the Internal Diseases ward

which lacks staff severely.

During the pandemic, the 71-year-old doctor

worked at the front line to care for his patients.

Dr. Rusev kept working fearlessly until the last day,

when he got infected with the disease.

As he used to say:

"Doctors keep working as long as they breathe."

We are all grateful for his dedication and courage.

The doctor's death is mourned by his patients, friends and family.

The Bulgarian Medical Association...

Upload it.

Upload the video.

Who are we waiting for?

Did you watch Misho Donev's video on the news today?

- Aren't you ashamed, Mr. Mancini? - Moving the business abroad?

- When were you last in Bergamo? - Did you spread the virus?

- Will you apologize to Iva Doneva? - This scandal has reached Brussels.

How many women were ill before Iva Doneva?

A message to Iva Doneva and her son?

Hello. I want to assure you that Mr. Mancini is cooperating

with the official investigators. He will issue a statement soon.

And Iva Doneva? Was it OK to sacrifice her to save your business?

The company apologizes to her,

she'll get her job back after the investigation.

Will she be compensated for the unfair accusation?

She'll get her full salary for... for the days she worked...

Can you comment on modern slavery in Bulgaria,

an EU member state for 13 years?

The video posted by Iva Doneva's son has had over 200,000 views.

I assure you that our company spares no effort

to improve working conditions

and salaries for our employees. That has always been our priority.

Is it true that the Regional Health inspectors

failed to find the breaches made so obvious by the video?

Our official statement will be issued soon. Good day.

- Does Mancini pay you a good salary? - A word for Iva Doneva and her son?

Is Mr. Mancini leaving Bulgaria?

How many others were ill before Doneva?

Did you frame your sister, Mr. Georgiev?
